I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

I haven’t published my One Word for 2016 but it’s FOCUS. I tend to try to multitask but I’ve realized I can’t complete tasks to the best of my ability without focusing. Thanks for hosting, I’m back linking up How I Bullet Journal in my Planner. I’m a total planner addict these days and happy to get this post done! Thanks for hosting.

Hi Ramona!
Winter finally arrived! We got sleet, freezing rain and a topping of snow!

My word this year is “Be”. I painted a small painting with the word on it and have it in my bathroom sink so I can see it every day.
I am going to check out the Crayola challenge…wish I knew about it earlier.
